Detention Deficit Disorder is the first mission of Level 2 in The Simpsons: Hit & Run. It's the 8th mission overall. It introduces the player to Avoid missions, in which the player needs to reach a set distance away from a pursuing AI-controlled vehicle. It is also the first mission in a different location, and as a different character.
Plot
Bart meets up with Milhouse in the local park. Milhouse tells him to avoid Skinner, who is giving expulsion to anyone who misses school. Bart then goes off to get a copy of Bonestorm II.
Bart gets to the Try-N-Save, but Jimbo had stolen the last copy and he tells Bart a lady had destroyed the other copies. Bart decides to try and find other methods to get the game.
Objectives
The player must drive to the Try-N-Save. On the way, Skinner will try to get Bart and the player will have to outrun Skinner. Outrun Skinner by driving as fast as possible and letting your meter run out. After escaping from Skinner, the player must now drive to the Try-N-Save.
Tips
- There is a more-smooth way to finish this mission; Jump on top of an AI-controlled car headed for the upwards section of town. Once it is far away from the mission trigger, get in the car and drive to the Try-N-Save as the player does not need to worry about Skinner.

Bart: Hey, that's great!
Milhouse: You better get out of here, Bart, Principal Skinner is looking for everyone who skipped school today. And when you're caught, it's expulsion, Bart, expulsion!

- This mission's title is a play on "Attention Deficit Disorder", which is a neurological disorder referring to kids with no ability to focus in school and complete their studies.
